Over all 4.5. The staff is so nice and very accommodating. We had a couple mishaps, but i think its due to the age of the property. Staff was quick to jump on it. We would stay here again.

The Whispering Pines is a great mountain retreat. We were greeted by a colorful neon sign. I love the wood cabin feel of the rooms. The bathroom was extremely large with two sinks, a separate shower, and a separate tub. Our room overlooked the mountains and river, which was gorgeous. We even had a balcony. The staff made sure we had all the information we needed upon check in. The location is extremely convenient—right outside the main center of Kernville. Our only issue was that the bathroom floor was a bit sticky, and our ceiling fans had a lot of dust buildup on them. The pool overlooking the mountains is nice, but if it were heated, that would be better since the water stays cold due to the cold nights.

Wonderful little Inn by the Kern River. It’s a bit rugged, but for the price was really nice. It’s a great place for travelers in the area that are looking for something that doesn’t feel like your traditional “corporate” franchise hotel. This is a local Inn with a nice country feel to it.
